About Sophiris

Sophiris Bio Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing a
clinical-stage, targeted treatment for the symptoms of benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate, which it believes is an
unsatisfied market with significant market potential. Sophiris’ lead
candidate for BPH, PRX302, is designed to be as efficacious as
pharmaceuticals, less invasive than the surgical interventions, and
without the sexual side effects seen with existing treatments. Sophiris
initiated its first Phase 3 clinical trial of PRX302 in October 2013.
